I’ll be honest, I don’t think this is one of my better efforts. I wrote and rewrote this one over and over again, but I still don’t think the joke quite works. Oh well, here it is. I’ll try to do better next week.

Yeah, I know, they don’t actually look much like Mograine and Whitemane. That’s because I’m not much of an artist. I have a great admiration for people who actually can make art. Some comics like Tales from the Crossroads are hand-crafted using the materials of the game itself. Others, like Coffin Comics and NPC have great comic style (and I mention only these few out of the many great WoW comics out there just because they’re the ones I happened to read this morning before posting so it was easy to pop out the urls). I wish that I had the kind of artistic skills these other comics artists had, but I don’t. I don’t know how to make Blizzard’s art assets dance for me, and I can’t even draw a realistic stick figure. So, I cheat and make AFR using Poser. That means I have to do my best and make do with the art assets available for Poser, which don’t always make it easy to replicate WoW’s distinctive style. I hope you can squint at the characters and enjoy the joke (such as it is) anyway. 🙂
